Abstract

The invention relates to a tire having tread with an internal softer transition rubber layer containing short fiber reinforcement. The invention relates to a tire having a rubber tread comprised of a circumferential outer cap rubber layer which contains a tread running surface and an underlying undertread layer of softer rubber than said outer tread cap rubber layer wherein said undertread layer rubber composition contains short fiber reinforcement.

Description

There is the tire containing containing the tyre surface of the softer interior transition rubber layer of chopped fiber intensifier
Technical field
The present invention relates to the tire of sandwich configuration rubber tread, comprise containing softer inside transition rubber layer of week in circumferential crown of tyre (the outer tread cap) rubber layer of tyre surface running surface, vertical direction, the latter is as tread cushioning layer (undertread) rubber layer, be positioned between the circumferential tread-rubber of described crown of tyre rubber layer and underlay (underlying) basic unit, the rubber composition of wherein said softer interior transition rubber layer is containing fibrillation aramid fiber short fibre intensifier (short fibrillated aramid fiber reinforcement).
Background technology
The tyre surface of aerated rubber tyre generally disposes circumferential crown of tyre rubber layer and the underlay tread-rubber basic unit (under described crown of tyre rubber layer) of the running surface contacting with ground containing tire.
Cover tire canopy be generally for impel tire running surface there is suitable tyre surface resistance to abrasion, to good dry/wet tack of road with promote tire to handle and the suitable rigidity of driving.
The challenge facing is: impel more soft vehicle ride to be different from the mode of practice in the past, then in the meaning of more soft vehicle ride, improve the traveling comfort of vehicle.
A kind of method of impelling more soft vehicle ride is to adopt the rubber composition of softer (rigidity appropriateness reduces) to make tyre surface.
Can make tread rubber composition stiffness degradation or make it more soft method has: for example, and with the more granulated rubber reinforcer of low surface area; In rubber composition with reinforcer content still less and/or in rubber composition with more rubber processing oil content.
But, expect that the tread rubber composition of this class stiffness degradation (softer) has more undesirable tread properties, as wet/arterial highway road tack is lower, and poor resistance to abrasion, this will cause the increase of tread wear.In addition, also expect that the manipulation of vehicle and/or driving performance are also subject to negative effect.
For the present invention, propose to adopt than the middle transition rubber layer of the rubber of crown of tyre rubber softer (rigidity suitably reduces) under described crown rubber layer and between crown rubber layer and tread-rubber basic unit.
From improving the viewpoint of vehicle riding comfort and tyre surface road-holding property, choosing a little of facing is: this more soft transition rubber layer (much softer than crown rubber) that much soft rubber composition (Xiao A hardness the is very low) formation that has significantly high low strain modulus performance on the athwartship plane by the circumferential surface at tyre surface and tyre surface is provided.
By this way,, when improving the more soft vehicle ride of tire itself, still keep wet/dry tack and the tyre surface resistance to abrasion of crown of tyre rubber expectation.
But, can predict, use softer intermediate rubber layer to estimate the rigidity that makes tyre surface on its athwartship plane (side-side surface direction) to reduce, thereby sacrifice manipulation and driving (turning to) performance of tire.
For object of the present invention, will to middle transition rubber layer compared with soft rubber composite in comprise into the dispersion of fibrillation aramid fiber short fibre intensifier, with tread rubber layer in the middle of promoting in its circumferentially and horizontal rigidity in (side-side surface direction), thereby promote manipulation and the driving performance of tire to evaluate.
Fortunately, for intermediate rubber layer, the orientation of fibrillation aramid fiber short fibre in the circumferential surface of tyre surface running surface can realize with calendering or the extrusion molding of traditional rubber composition, thereby promotes the humidification of rubber composition layer in the circumferential surface of tyre surface interlayer.
But, an importance of the present invention is to evaluate this fiber orientation of fibrillation aramid fiber short fibre, whether also can provide the humidification on tyre surface interlayer laterally circumferential (side-side surface direction) to the rubber composition layer of the middle soft rubber layer of tyre surface.

Fig. 1 means the bar chart of the Xiao A hardness (23 ℃) of each compound (rubber composition) A~E.
As seen from Figure 1, representative is intended to the rubber composition of the crown of tyre rubber layer that contacts with ground, its Xiao A hardness value (23 ℃) is 66, far above 35,34 and 43 Shore hardness (23 ℃) value of being respectively of the rubber composite B, the C that propose for much soft underlay tread rubber composition and D.
From Fig. 1, also can see, the Xiao A hardness of rubber composition E (23 ℃) value 64 is very high and apparently higher than the Xiao A hardness value desired to underlay transition rubber layer (23 ℃) 20~50.
For comparing stress (tensile modulus) value, Fig. 2 has provided the relation of stress (MPa) that each compound (rubber composition) A~E represents with modulus and strain percentum, stress the lower strain area of 50~100% strain values on curve in particular, especially 100% strain value.

From comfort index aspect by table 2, Xiao A hardness value 35,34 and 43 in the criterion scope 20~50 of only having rubber composition B, C and D to have respectively to drop on shown in Table A and shown in Fig. 1, these values are also far below the value 72 of rubber composition A, therefore much soft.
But the Xiao A hardness value 64 of rubber composition E is obviously greater than the much soft Xiao A hardness criterion scope 20~50 shown in Table A and therefore drops on outside this scope.
Think that this point is very important herein, because its explanation, reinforcer, i.e. the content of rubber reinforcement carbon black, when containing 3 phr fibrillation aramid fiber short fibre, should be lower than 30 phr.
From manoeuverability index aspect, by table 2, also can be seen and be shown in Fig. 2, only rubber composition C, D have satisfied parallel 100% strain that is greater than 1.0 MPa (100% dynamic percentage elongation) modulus value and vertical 100% strain modulus level that is greater than 0.7 MPa with E.
But, being easy to see, rubber composition E is also unsatisfactory, because its high Xiao A hardness value 64, the maxim 50 requiring than the comfort index of reporting in Table A is much bigger.
Therefore, obtain conclusion: only rubber composition C and D are satisfactorily for tread cushioning layer of the present invention (interior transition tread rubber layer), because they had both passed through the Xiao A hardness comfort index limit of stipulating in Table A, passed through again the manoeuverability index of stipulating in Table A, the parallel drawing modulus value under 100% dynamic strain is greater than 1 MPa and cross directional stretch modulus value is greater than 0.7 MPa.
Although for explanation object of the present invention has provided some typical embodiment and details, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that and can do therein various changes and modification under the prerequisite that does not depart from the scope of the invention.
